So long after practice ended today, as usual, Buccaneers rookie edge rusher Rueben Bain was still working. The Miami Mauler typically is the last player off the field.

Today, however, Bain put in the work just to be able to put in the work, which Joe found far more interesting as the heat index climbed above 100 degrees. Bain dragged two offensive lineman dummies 50-plus yards. He waved off help. Then he set both up to his liking, strapped on his helmet and went to work.

Joe’s never witnessed this kind of commitment from a rookie. Stunning video below.

Remember in Feburary when Todd Bowles hurled 2025 Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard under the bus?

Joe sure does. [read more]
